Where were these escalations? Was there something common about the thieves? Have you tried doing escalations elsewhere? Have you tried stealing your own escalations? ---

Yeah the thing the thieves have in common is that they’re multi boxers. If it was guaranteed a 1v1 I’d probably stay and try to fight honestly, cyclones aren’t that expensive. also if you had any experience with this kind of content you’d know that the escalation locations are random. ---

Random, but within a certain amount of jumps of where you triggered it in my experience. ---

You’re never guaranteed to have 1v1. If you dont want to be scanned down, do abyssals. ---

Then accept that players will scan your ship down to find you and either steal your loot or destroy your ship. Ive had sites lost many times over the years. It happens. Just cause you prefer pve over pvp doesnt mean pvp won’t happen to you. Asking to nerf something that will benefit you but punish others as you can see is not going the way you planned, especially since there are stronger probes than sisters ---

If you lost a site it was your own fault for not warping out of the site when someone entered the system. Why didn’t you warp out of the site, many of us would like to know. ---

> [@John\_Aurthur](#): > > If you lost a site it was your own fault for not warping out of the site when someone entered the system. Why didn’t you warp out of the site, many of us would like to know. That’s a choice you make. You can save time by continuing to do the site, but then you make the choice to take the additional risk of losing the site if someone happens to be interested in stealing your site, and you are not strong enough to fight them for it. You also can make other choices, like the recon ship, sensor booster fit, bigger stronger ship, friends or hiding in a safe spot. Why do you wish to remove valid gameplay choices from the game? ---

I do not think the situation you described is in need of improving. Instead I have made multiple suggestions for you to try improve your experience in that scenario, but you’ve dismissed all of them and would rather keep asking for buffs at the expense of others. And thanks for having the last word! ---

Seriously, the guy trolls at this point… It’s a _competitive game_. The escalations are _not a personal guaranteed reward_, but _chances_ to make profits if one can get them done. He has _freely decided_ to enter a low-security area, which means _full PvP all the time_. He has _freely decided_ to play solo in a mass-multiplayer PvP game. He _still_ has _multiple options_ to outsmart the hunters if he is _willing to learn_ how to use the tools the game offers him. But it’s all _too tedious_. Poor him. Instead of accepting the challenge and getting good at the game, he demands to simply change it so it is easier, more convenient, less risky. Others should simply have no chance to interfere with his grind. Well, picked the wrong game.
